How to choose video light
More and more people start to like photography, so it is very important to equip yourself with a set of suitable equipment. After you have a camera, you will lose the photography lamp. Only with the lamp can you take more beautiful photos. What should I pay attention to when purchasing? Let’s take a look at how to choose a photography light.
- Buy low-power lamps for small studios: the shooting space is less than 5 square meters, and the ceiling height is less than 3.1 meters. It is best to buy lamps of about 200W, not more than 400W.
- Buy high-power lamps for large studios: the shooting space is more than 20 square meters, and the ceiling height is more than 3.5 meters. It is best to buy 400W or 600W lamps.
- The power of the external flashing light is not inferior to the studio light, but because the recycling speed is slow and it is easy to get hot, you must consider the shooting mode; if you often shoot continuously, it is recommended to buy a studio light.
- The studio lights have extra light, single light and electric barrel. It is recommended that ordinary people start with outside light and single light first. If high-speed continuous shooting is required, electric barrel is more suitable.
- Some photography lights are dedicated and cannot be used universally. Moreover, some photography lights need to be driven by powerful batteries. Therefore, the existing battery capacity must be considered when purchasing photography lights, and additional purchases may be required if necessary.
The power of commonly used LED movie lights
LED video light is a common equipment in photographic equipment. LED video light is also called LED studio light and LED flat panel light. It is mainly used for studio lighting layout, video, micro film shooting, etc. In reality, many photographers often This equipment is used. There is no accurate rated range for the power of LED video lights. The minimum power is only 20w, while the maximum power can reach 2000w. Different shooting scenes require different power LED video lights. The power of the more common LED video lights Between 30w–400w.
For ordinary studios, a set of high-power LED movie lights with three or four lights is indispensable, while smaller LED movie lights are good! For example, Ledsfilm’s LS-BCL-600 6-module kit is often used by Bollywood and Hollywood film and television circles to shoot promotional poster videos. Although the power is only 600w, the LED lamp beads used are bright enough and the color temperature can be adjusted according to flexible choice for the needs of different scenarios.
If you are shooting in a larger studio or outdoors, you need more powerful LED video lights. Here I recommend ledsfilm LS-BCL-1000 high-power LED movie lights. This lamp has a power of 100w and uses full-spectrum LED lamp beads of the same standard as the German Alai, which makes it have higher brightness. This lamp is equivalent to The brightness of ordinary LED lamp bead film and television lamp is 3000w, but the volume of LS-BCL-1000 is significantly smaller and lighter, which is more suitable for outdoor shooting.
Choosing the power of the Led video light needs to be determined according to your own shooting needs. You cannot blindly think that the greater the power, the better! Only by choosing suitable shooting needs can we create satisfactory light and shadow effects.
